Official Dancing With the Stars: Season 18

[Nohal]

Victoria Secret adto funny when she said that. Did anyone else see Carrie Ann when she stood up to give Ricky a hug she sure looked pregnant to me.

Holy Tamales.....Peta just trumped Edyta in of the skimpy outfit Hall of Fame

Peta's not as skanky as Edyta though.

Maybe I'm having an off night but I didn't like either of the first two dances.

Since Carrie Ann said she was taking off a point for the "lift" and she still gave them a 9, does that mean she thought the dance was perfect? I wonder if she reads these boards since she said she didn't want anyone to say Amy wasn't judged fairly since she could win it all. I just don't think that Amy is the best dancer, also couldn't she wear shoes?

I think that each week. Doesn't she wear shoes in real life? Every week it's like: Let's advertise the ParaOlympic person.

Remind me, where did the other guest judges sit on the panel?? I wonder why Ricky is not next to Bruno... Don't they normally sit between Len and Bruno?

I think Cher sat in the same spot when she was on last season.

I think they could have judged Danica with the same criteria they use for Amy.

Can't remember who was the guest judge last week but they sat between Carrie Ann & Len.

Oh see I only remember Donny being next to Bruno and Bruno really being very distracting and over the top... Since this is Latin week and being a huge fan of Ricky Martin, I am so glad that is not the case this week. Ricky Martin is my favorite guest 4th judge, good commentary and no show boating.. Plus he is so handsome and knows a thing or two about dance and entertainment.

 

[marybet]

I really liked Candace & Mark's dance but the music . So Carrie Ann decides to judge based on what she saw in her eyes not what she danced. I'd like to judge Carrie Ann based on her judging.

 

[Imzadi]

I think they could have judged Danica with the same criteria they use for Amy.

We had a special exhibition here in Times Square a few years ago, for the 100 Day Countdown to the London Olympics, in which we could meet some of the U.S.Olympic team hopefuls. I got to meet the former ParaOPlympic gold medal winner for sprinting. I even got to hold his gold medal for a minute.

I realized that this athlete was faster with one prosthetic leg and one good leg, than about 92% of the people on the planet with 2 "normal" legs."

Yet, he still would have to compete in the ParaOlympics, not the regular Olympics, because there IS different criteria. And there should be. It is not fair to both sets of Olympics to judge them the same and put them in one competition.

It's not fair that Amy gets special judging criteria while the other dancers are penalized while making the same mistakes.

 

[Imzadi]

As someone called it earlier, Team Meryl's dance was so much better.

 

[marybet]

I did like the second team better but no way was that a ten, they were out of sync several times & there were some other mistakes. It just isn't fair to the other team that they gave them sympathy votes for Amy.

I do think it will be NeNe & Tony going home tonight.

 

[Imzadi]

GOING HOME:










NeNe & Tony

 

[MomofKatie]

That was definitely the right decision.

 

[Imzadi]

That was definitely the right decision.

I agree. She's the weakest dancer at this point.

 

[Dee77]

Candace should be next, she just does not look comfortable or fluid with her movements but she was better than NeNe.

 

[AustinTink]

So glad Nene is gone. I did not enjoy her at all. Candace is hard to watch as well.

I'm giving all my votes to Charlie tonight. I have a feeling he will need them going forward. The judges don't like him for some reason.

 

[AustinTink]

Did you guys hear Carrie Ann say, "when you win..." to Amy? Then she quickly changed it to "if". Not cool.

 

[marybet]

I know they put the other two in jeopardy so they could say that team Vida was in jeopardy but we really don't know who was 2nd from the bottom. That helps if you want to send some of the votes their way. I may go vote for Danica & Val online.

I just fast forwarded through the show so I could look at the team dances again, while doing do I realized that Amy & Derek were the only ones to get the same score from every judge. I also watched Amy after her dance, it showed Derek pick her up to carry her up stairs & then when they got to the top and you could see on her face that something was wrong. I'm just wondering if it was the way Derek was carrying her. Sounded more like a back spasm then an injury that will keep her from dancing.

I don't like that they showed Amy talking about her boyfriend & crying, they showed her crying last week. I know they like to edit those "packages" to show them at their worst but did we really need to know that she wasn't meeting someones needs?

 

[marybet]

Did you guys hear Carrie Ann say, "when you win..." to Amy? Then she quickly changed it to "if". Not cool.

I didn't catch the when but did hear the if and also you could win. I just think that is so unfair to the rest, Yes Amy is an inspiration but she is not the best dancer, not even the second best dancer. I really don't enjoy watching her dance, I didn't pay close attention to her dance tonight because it doesn't really seem to matter how she dances they will give her high scores.

I just think that Charlie needs a better partner, Sharna doesn't seem to know how to bring out the best in him. He did make a mistake tonight & the judges jumped on it.

The way it's going I think Meryl & Amy will be in the top 3 but not sure who will get the last spot. Could be James, Charlie or Danica.

 

[Imzadi]

Did you guys hear Carrie Ann say, "when you win..." to Amy? Then she quickly changed it to "if". Not cool.

Yes, I heard it. I predicted a few days ago that the producers want her to win. She will be so inspirational, (even if she wins unfairly by changing her judging criteria ) and bring in a new audience of disabled people who don't normally watch. Then DWTS can say they have the first disabled/Paralympic mirror ball winner. How would that NOT be a win for DWTS & ABC?
